The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

However, there was a person whose face became more dignified.

This person was Zu Mao, he knew that once the enemy army withdrew, his mission would finally begin.

Zu Mao used to have more than [-] soldiers and horses in his headquarters, but after several rounds of fighting, now there are only [-] soldiers left, just enough to meet Zhou Yu's requirements.

So, he suddenly waved his arms and led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to rush out.

Dian Wei's soldiers and horses had just left Xinye not far away when they suddenly heard a sound coming from behind.

When he looked back, he was instantly furious.

"Hmph! His Majesty ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and he let you go! I didn't expect you people to come out and pursue them without knowing what is good or bad?"

Therefore, Dian Wei immediately turned back with his men and horses to face the Jingzhou soldiers who rushed out.

When Zu Mao rushed out with his men, Liu Ke, who was supervising the battle outside the city, also noticed it immediately, and his brows frowned instantly.

Because speaking of it, after such a long fight, not only his soldiers and horses are exhausted, but the opponent is probably even worse.

But the other party unexpectedly chased him out of the city, all of this is really abnormal.

He hurriedly ordered all soldiers and horses to stop temporarily and be careful.

At this moment, Zu Mao who rushed out of the city finally collided with Dian Wei's army, and the two sides immediately fell into a more tragic fight.

And when Zu Mao rushed out, the other generals finally started to act.

First of all, Huang Gai, according to Zhou Yu's arrangement, led his troops and was the first to rush out from the east gate.

This time, Liu Ke finally couldn't sit still.

He had already thought something in his mind just now, but he didn't expect that he really guessed it right.

The enemy army actually wanted to take advantage of this time to break through.

Fortunately, Liu Ke reacted quickly, the army just now had not all returned yet.

He immediately commanded general Tai Shici to lead [-] horses to chase after him.

Seeing this, Zu Mao hurriedly gave up Dian Wei to block him.

However, his soldiers and horses were already small, and some of them had not been withdrawn.

As a result, the blocking force formed was negligible, so Tai Shici broke it up without much effort, and chased after Huang Gai in the direction where Huang Gai was escaping.

Unexpectedly, not long after Tai Shici chased him out, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the west gate of Xinye City.

Under the leadership of Cheng Pu, those people went straight to the west regardless of Liu Ke's army outside.

Only then did Liu Ke react, and ordered another general, Zhao Yun, to chase after him with [-] troops.

But after Zhao Yun chased them out, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the farthest north gate and ran straight to the north.

Liu Ke had no choice but to arrange another general to chase after him with troops.

Although there were not many enemy soldiers and horses rushing out, Liu Ke still sent [-] troops for each of the chasing troops.

Moreover, the enemy's strategy is obviously to split up and escape, just to force themselves to divide their troops.

But Liu wanted to capture Sun Ce alive, so naturally he had to use all his strength for every fleeing army.

What if it's in the team that I don't pay attention to?

Seeing that the three soldiers and horses escaped from the three city gates, they also attracted many soldiers and horses from Liu Ke.

Zu Mao's mission has finally come to an end.

So he shouted loudly, left Dianwei behind and wanted to run away.

Being entangled by Zu Mao for a long time caused him to lose the chance to chase down the fleeing army.

How could Dian Wei let him leave so easily, and immediately led his troops to chase him away.

In this way, Liu Ke's original army of more than [-] troops was continuously divided, and only [-] soldiers and horses were left.

He took the rest of the people and started to move, slowly marching towards Xinye.

Unexpectedly, before Liu Ke got close to Xinye, another group of people rushed out from the north of the city.

Seeing the situation, Liu had no choice but to lead the remaining soldiers and horses to chase them out.

In this way, Liu Ke's army was divided into four by Zhou Yu's strategy of dividing the troops, and they chased each other in different directions.

And Zhou Yu had already mixed with Sun Ce among one of the soldiers and horses and left Xinye.

Xinye City, which was originally confronted by nearly [-] troops, was completely empty in an instant.

Under the shining of the setting sun, it reveals an indescribable desolation.

After this fire and subsequent fighting, all the original facilities in Xinye City were completely destroyed.

If you want to live again, I'm afraid it will take how long it will take to recover.

The four soldiers and horses who fled separately did not know the mission of the others, so they could only move forward to their own goals.

And before that, Zhou Yu had repeatedly warned that this retreat was related to the fate of the king, Sun Ce, and even the entire Jingzhou.

Therefore, several generals did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
